Steve, I am currently testing a slightly modified version of your patch which seems to work to some extent. Multiple partitions (i.e. /boot, /usr and /var) do work, depending on the type of file system used. A mix of ext2, ext4, xfs work fine but I currently have a failure when /var is jfs : for some reason, but initramfs environment refuses to mount /var as jfs, even if the jfs kernel module is present & loaded.
I will carry on with my test when I return for the xmas vacation in early jan. I'll keep you posted with my findings. Let me know if you want me to post the current version of the patch here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828731 Title: kdump functionality not working as expected when /boot is a separate partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/828731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
